...this is the rarest dragon ever.
I'm betting it will be the rarest dragon ever also. It's cost in gems is certainly the highest I can remember, although maybe I'm wrong--there are lots of people on this forum with much more DV experience than me.
I am not sure if this is the rarest dragon, while it may have the lowest % chance to get one (0,5 according to the sandbox), there are a lot of combo's that will give you one. For example, platinum has 4x less combo's and has 4 times more chance (2%). So it might be equal rare. Gold olympus has 10x less combo's and 6x more % to get one (3%). So you might say that in some way Gold Olympus is the rarest dragon followed by Platinum and Double rainbow.

This is of course considering you get them as fails and not try for them, but you could just get a double rainbow while trying for the next gemstone or limited ;)

I've been quite busy lately, didn't have a chance to play much. Finally I decided to do a few tests today, and, of course, missed the announcement of Bearded dragon. Oh well
Here are my tests nevertheless:

100 tries firefly+rain (both level 7) = 13 butterflies, 2 double rainbows.
5 rainbow+lyd = 1 dr

As to for my main account - I threw same pair there once in a while plus last night spent some gems to speed number of short waits, guessing total of 20-25 tries - 0 as in "none" butterflies and rainbows of any kind
I guess I'll switch to rainbow+lyd in the cave while trying for the new limited dude in the island

Hmm, the Simulator doesn't show Rainbow and LYD giving Double... Mustn't be updated yet :)

Just did 20 each of LYD + Celtic, LYD + Rainbow and Celtic + Rainbow. Did not get any DR (Doctors) at all. Would some other people like to check that?

I tried r+lyd again - none. Wonder if I mishit last night, dr is right next to single r in my list.

Sorry about the confusion, my bad

It's all good. Good on you for testing these other combos, as it didn't occur to me.

I am using the chrome and mountain combo for bearded hoping for a DR fail. And I now have 2 regular rainbows coming. One on the island and one in the cave. Im curious if they have made regulars easier to get as each was only on second or third try.

Not that much easier if at all. Pixie has just completed 2000 Love + Salamander resulting in 35 Rainbows and 27 Double Rainbows. That's 1.75% for the Rainbow.

I know we have no way of testing it, but I sometimes wonder whether the chances are boosted the first few times you try after a new release. I got DR on about my third try, and the number of 'new' dragons I've got on the 1st or 2nd day appears way too high for the 'random' chances.

Here is the breakdown of the testing Fletch mentioned. The original question was do limiteds give a higher chance at a DR than non-limiteds. Still have to finish the non-limiteds yet for comparison.

Level 20 Love+Salamander
1,000 attempts
12 Rainbow
15 Double Rainbow

Level 12 Love + Salamander
1,000 attempts
23 Rainbow
12 Double Rainbow

Combined results
2,000 attempts
35 Rainbow
27 Double Rainbow

Not terribly impressed with the L20 increased percentages promised.

Thanks a lot Pixie.

Wow, that's a pretty sad percentage increase for level 20 indeed =/ A thousand tests apiece and the level 20 rares ended up lower than the level 12 ones. Geez. The Breeding Island vs. the Breeding Cave has a more significant difference...

Is there a difference between the cave and island? Last time I asked, I was told no.

A lot of tests in the past have shown an improvement of about 2x... Of course, for really rare dragons, that 2x is a very small %, but still.

Rainbow, and I think Gold Treasure showed no difference between the cave and the island. Platinum is probably the same, but I don't know of any testing done. Everything else has a marked improvement in the island over the cave. As Syl said it could just be that the % so success for them is so small, you can't really notice an improvement.

There is no breeding advantage to upgrading the caves, just a saving of time.

I ran another 300 breedings with my level 10 Seaweed and Firefly. This time, the results were less skewed. The breedings resulted in 4 Double Rainbows and 5 Rainbows.
